Dubai Guest^b,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: David England| T: O Murphy| OR: 98| C

2/1

Off the mark here (24.2f) in November and ran to similar level when runner-up last 2 starts. Should go well again.

Form: 941722

Vinnie's Getaway¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 80

9/2

Modest handicap hurdler who failed to build on a mildly promising start for this yard when below form at Doncaster/Fontwell. Back over fences now.

Form: 5P4578

Radetzky March^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: L Morgan| OR: 77

9/2

Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but well held over hurdles. Makes handicap/chase debut.

Form: F4-5907

Mister Robbo^p⁷⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: D Faulkner| OR: 76

10/1

Multiple point winner who showed first worthwhile form under Rules to land a very weak affair at Taunton. More needed here but he's a lightly-raced 11-y-o.

Form: PP/6451

Treacys Jim²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: J D Frost| OR: 74

10/3

Poor maiden chaser with a mixed record, though latest fourth at Exeter was one of his better efforts.

Form: 3P4P64

Forecasts

Dubai Guest (2/1), Treacys Jim (10/3), Radetzky March (9/2), Vinnie's Getaway (9/2), Lucky Lara (7/1), Mister Robbo (10/1), Top Beak (14/1), Message Man (20/1)

LUCKY LARA made an encouraging start over fences for her new yard when fourth at Taunton and she's open to improvement down in class. She gets the vote over Dubai Guest, who was a good second over C&D last month. Mister Robbo is only third best having won a very weak affair at Taunton.
